This year the final stage of the famous cycling event starts and ends in Rome
In 2024, for the fifth time in the history of the event and for the second consecutive year, Rome will once again host the twenty-first and final stage of the Giro d’Italia.
The last stage of the Giro d’Italia, ending precisely on May 26, consists of a total circuit of 125 kilometers, starting from EUR and finishing at the Imperial Forums. The stage is essentially the same as that of 2023 with an initial out-and-back stretch to Ostia and then covering several laps of the city circuit.
The circuit crosses many of Rome’s landmarks. In succession: the Colosseum, the Imperial Forum, the Lungotevere, Castel Sant’Angelo, the Circus Maximus and the Baths of Caracalla. It also passes in front of extraordinary places such as Piazza Navona, Piazza del Popolo and the Tiber Island.
This year’s finish will be on Via San Gregorio, with the Colosseum in the background.
From a cycling point of view, the route does not include many technical difficulties. The sections with sanpietrini, the charming but uncomfortable traditional Roman pavement, are kept to a minimum and are in good condition.
The race will begin at 3:30pm and the arrival is expected by 6:45pm.
This event will paint the city pink, the mother colour of the race, fill it with wheels that will silence the hubbub of cars, and those who enjoy cycling will see it from wonderful and unique perspectives.
MAY 26
Start: EUR
Finish line: Via San Gregorio
